    Cool cloudy day here.

    So BP finally responded. A bit too much. 70/53 and I was a bit woozy. Needless to say, I did not take the prescribed amlodipine last night. Up to 106/73 this am. Feeling normal. Am guessing the amlodipine dose is too high. Oy.

    Got some yard work done in spite of wooziness.

    Grilled salmon last night and will do some burgers today. My old girl Tess turned 13 yesterday and she'll get a cheeseburger (no bun) today to celebrate.

    Be OP ;-)

    Oy, Lee. That’s very low. Be careful.

    Cool and foggy morning here; supposed to warm up next few days into 80’s.

    Stopped by DD’s yesterday to pick up some masks and got the tour of their yard, keeping distance and wearing my mask. They’ve been busy landscaping and it really looks beautiful. Nice to visit; haven’t seen any family or friends for a month or more. Heard another SIL being tested for C-19 because lost sense of smell. He just started a new job with Lindtt Chocolate. Fingers crossed.

    Time to brew some Kaffee.

    Good morning gentlemen.

    Wow, that is low, Lee. My DW has very low BP - 95/60 is pretty normal, for her. In other countries, they would medicate her to bring that up. Here they congratulate her that she is unlikely to ever have heart trouble. She frequently complains of dizziness and often blacks pout briefly when she stands up. Hope you find the right balance of meds to keep it in the right zone.

    I'll be thinking about you, tomorrow, Skip. An early report time is good. Never like waiting around, hungry and thirsty.

    Finally, remembering the fallen, today. Raising a glass to absent companions.

    Hope this isn't what you see just before going under tomorrow, Skip.

    Good Morning!

    Connie and I toured through the Leavenworth National Cemetery yesterday. Very sobering.

    Woot! I also got a REAL haircut yesterday! I am very happy, but I did have to wait for 70 minutes.

    Lee, praying for you that you get your BP under controll

    Happy birthday, Tess!

    Skip, earnest prayer for you, and prayer for successful procedures, and super fast healing.

    Not sure what is in store for today. Some chores, some rest.

    Have a great day!

    Good Morning

    Lee, your BP swings are eye-openers. I continue to pray they get them stabilized. It is hard to believe Tess is 13. It doesn't seem too long ago she was just starting to get up to speed under the watchful eye of Sara Jane.

    Hot one yesterday. We ended up picking up some lunch going to the Ruth Bancroft Succulent Garden to see what was in bloom. It wasn't crowded and was well set up to comply with guidelines and by now folks are skilled at wearing masks and keeping well spaced. We picnicked in our car. Not sure about today. Upper 90's forecasted so I don't think we will be going anywhere.
